If Tanith Belbin could turn back time, if she could find a way…

…she would have brought some Cher posters to Vancouver, she’d say.
Yikes. That is just awful. Simply atrocious. Please accept my apologies for that terrible Cher reference, but bear with me, there is a method to my madness. Well, it’s not so much of a method per se, but I digress.
One of the more intriguing stories coming out of Olympic Village during the time leading up to opening ceremonies last night was the interesting living arrangements of two U.S. athletes.
You see, lovely American ice dancer Tanith Belbin prefers to have a room to herself when she competes, and this prerequisite left her with only two options: share a space with Evan Lysacek – a former boyfriend of hers – or shack up with U.S. figure skater Johnny Weir.
Obviously, she chose to share a suite with Weir, and that’s when the silliness all began.

Weir, the accommodating person that he is, went all out to ensure that Belbin’s stay would be a fabulous one. From pink bathmats to scented candles, Weir wanted Belbin to feel she was living in the lap of Olympic luxury.
On the decorating side of it, Weir has some unique, shall we say, quirks. He likes to hang posters of people he admires – from Lady Gaga to Audrey Hepburn, Weir has it covered.

“He has Audrey Hepburn posters up and motivational quotes on the walls. He set up my bedroom and put all my clothes away in the closet. I think it’s going to be a really good time,” Belbin said.

“I asked for Cher (posters), but he said because of the weather he had to leave early and didn’t have time to shop. …He’s going shopping tonight,” Belbin said.

Whaaaa? No Cher posters? What the fungus? One cannot get by on Audrey Hepburn and Lady Gaga posters alone!
But calm down, it’s going to be okay. As Belbin said, Weir will get those Cher posters – perhaps he has already procured a suitable wall-hanging of the talented singer-songwriter-actress-inspirational figure. And a madcap time will be had by one and all. Crazy kids and their poster-hanging, I tell ya.
